While I agree with you, there is a workaround:

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $pre = 1;
my ($buf, $x);
while (defined ($x = read(STDIN, $buf, 4096)) && $x > 0) {
if ($pre && ($x = index($buf, "\037\213")) != -1) {
$buf = substr($buf, $x);
$pre = 0;
}
print $buf unless $pre;
}

Used as: perl unrpm.pl <foo.rpm | gzip -d | cpio -id

We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you missed the point.
